The hell is this crap anyway?

I doubt Mike even used the stupid car-powered travel mug he got stuck with last year and I definitely didn't use the bluetooth speaker I got stuck with. Everyone was just out a maximum of $20. This year everyone will just be out a minimum of $20.

Sigh dammit

I have a better game idea. Everyone brings $5, we order a ton of pizza and we play "eat the pizza." It's a game I made up that costs a quarter as much and everyone likes. You play by grabbing a piece of pizza and eating it. The game continues until the pizza is gone or nobody wants to play anymore.

I wonder if the team would go for it.

I was glad when we stopped doing that shit at work. We still do it at my wife's grandparents house though, and they have the added rule of every item can be traded 3 times. It becomes a game of "who gets to keep the lottery tickets?" Everything else is shit

Not really worried about coming up with a gift. With that $20 minimum, I can go get a gift certificate good for two movie tickets. Bam, done.

It's more just why can't I opt out, and plus everyone else going to bring, like, a teapot or some garbage.

$20.00 Minimum. Too much money flying around is exactly the kind of thing that messes these things up in the first place. Restrictions breed creativity.
